Issue 5.8 features three first-time contributors and is rife with flash fiction about copycat serial killers, corpses with amphibian-like smiles, and people at the end of their rope.

This issue also has the honor of being the last Molotov Cocktail until our upcoming Flash Monster contest deadline! July 31st is the official deadline, so get those monster-themed entries in quick if you hope to win $200 (or the cash prizes for the runners-up) and other perks.
